Paul Exalts the Cross, December 1
奋斗与勇敢-第336章
(徒17:15-18:4)
“因为我曾定了主意,在你们中间不知道别的,只知道耶稣基督,并祂钉十字架。……我所说的话讲的道,不是用智慧委婉的言语,乃是用圣灵和大能的明证”(林前2:2-4)。{CC 341.1}[1]

Acts 17:15-33 to Acts 18:4[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第336章
保罗习惯采用演说家的风格讲道。他有在王侯和雅典的伟人智士面前宣讲的能力。他的学识往往有助于为福音开路。他在雅典曾努力这样做,以口才对付口才,以哲学对付哲学,以逻辑对付逻辑,但是没有达到他所希望的效果。他后来认识到需要一种超过人类智慧的东西。……他必须得到来自更高源头的能力。为了要使罪人信服悔改,必须有上帝之灵的配合,洁净灵性上的一切造诣。(6BC.1084){CC 341.2}[2]

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.... And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 1 Corinthians 2:2-4. {CC 341.1}[2]

但在保罗,十字架乃是他最高兴趣的焦点。自从他在逼迫圣徒的工作上被基督制止以来,他一直是凭着十字架夸口的。……他从自己的经验中体会到:一个罪人若能在上帝儿子的牺牲上看到天父的慈爱,并顺服上帝的感化,他的心就必起一种改变,而且此后基督便要成为他整个人生的中心了。{CC 341.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第336章
It had been Paul’s custom to adopt an oratorical style in his preaching. He was a man fitted to speak before kings, before the great and learned men of Athens, and his intellectual acquirements were often of value to him in preparing the way for the gospel. He tried to do this in Athens, meeting eloquence with eloquence, philosophy with philosophy, and logic with logic; but he failed to meet with the success he had hoped for. His aftersight led him to understand that there was something needed above human wisdom.... He must receive his power from a higher source. In order to convict and convert sinners, the Spirit of God must come into his work and sanctify every spiritual development.1 {CC 341.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第336章
保罗在悔改的时候就充满一种热望,急欲帮助自己的同胞仰望拿撒勒的耶稣为永生上帝的儿子,为大有能力改变人心并拯救人类的主。此后,保罗便完全献身于这种高举被钉十架之主的慈爱和能力的工作了。……保罗的工作不限于向众人作公开的演讲,因为有许多人是不能用这种方法接近的。……他拜访了患病和忧伤的人,安慰了受苦的人,并扶持了受压迫的人。在他一切所讲的话和所行的事上,他都尊耶稣的名为大。……{CC 341.4}[4]

To Paul the cross was the one object of supreme interest. Ever since he had been arrested in his career of persecution against the followers of the crucified Nazarene he had never ceased to glory in the cross.... He knew by personal experience that when a sinner once beholds the love of the Father, as seen in the sacrifice of His Son, and yields to the divine influence, a change of heart takes place, and henceforth Christ is all and in all. {CC 341.3}[4]

保罗知道自己的力量不在于自己,乃在乎圣灵与他同在,以恩惠的感化充满他的心。……他一贯隐藏自我,彰显基督,高举基督。(AA245-251){CC 341.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第336章
At the time of his conversion, Paul was inspired with a longing desire to help his fellow men to behold Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of the living God, mighty to transform and to save. Henceforth his life was wholly devoted to an effort to portray the love and power of the Crucified One.... The apostle’s efforts were not confined to public speaking; there were many who could not have been reached in that way.... He visited the sick and the sorrowing, comforted the afflicted, and lifted up the oppressed. And in all that he said and did he magnified the name of Jesus.... {CC 341.4}[5]
